Mini Opera is one of the best and most widely used mobile web browser available in the market today. Their latest update has been a big hit with users. Since its worldwide launch in 2006, more than 44 million people have downloaded and used Opera Mini. More than 11.9 million people used Opera Mini in March 2008.
Opera mini has surveyed anonymous traffic of more than 44 million cumulative Opera Mini users worldwide to see where mobile users chose to spend their time when using the Web on their mobile devices. The figures released have India centric data as well, which throws up interesting numbers and sites.
The data consumption on the mobile phones has seen tremendous growth with 11.9 million Opera Mini users consuming more than 33 million MB of data for operators worldwide. This represents an almost 88% growth in last 3 months alone.
As far as Indian users go, nearly half (48.9%) of all traffic visit to social networks via their mobile phones. Here is the list of top 10 sites in India.
For me the biggest surprise is the number 4 site – peperonity . Is this mobile site that popular?

peperonity site used to provide users to make their own homepage…and many users did make SITES in there…it was working with o2.mywap.co.uk earlier..dunno if they still work together.Its very popular site among mobile users
Yes you are right,i was also thinking the same if it was working with o2.mywap.co.uk both.then it will become very popular site for the mobile user.
yes peperonity is very popular amongst the mobile users. With it we can make our own mobile sites. It also contains huge amount of free downloads. Wen.ru is also very popular mobile site.
I think Peperonity’s rating is high coz it allows u to make ur own site as a result people spend more time in making there site and coz making of site so easy there many try there hands
I dont know how to this rating is ascertained, but i used this mobile site recently and found very good resource, an all in one types at itzall.com/m . I think its up to users hwo they percieve any mobile site.
Thats pretty crazy how more and more people are using more and more data from their cell phones. I just makes me wonder what the numbers will be like in 5 years…
